Shortest Time for Multiple Wins

With Terenzo Bozzone winning three races within three weeks, this seemed to be the perfect time to delve deeper into my data and look at the shortest time spans between multiple wins over half- and full-distance triathlons. I’ve stopped at five wins – with that many wins there is usually one longer gap between wins so it isn’t really “one hot streak” anymore.

To avoid any confusion (3 weekends? 3 weeks?), I’m listing the number of days between the first win and the last win in a series. Therefore, “3 wins in 15 days” corresponds to 3 wins “on 3 consecutive weekends” and “within 2 weeks”.

As always with these statistics, I have to add one word of caution: My Ironman results data go back to 2005 (and the 70.3 data to 2015), so I may have missed some older “winnings streaks”. Any pointers will be much appreciated!
